Standing ovation for ‘Bionic MP’ on Commons return

In the border areas. Yeah. As you know, we don't allow a clapping, but this is the next section, right? Can I also add my personal welcome back to Parliament to my friend and colleague, the honourable Member for Southland. No one who watched this interview last night could have failed to have been in awe of his incredible resilience some occasions, and there aren't many. This House genuinely comes together as one. And we do so today to pay tribute to your courage and determination in not only coming through an awful ordeal, but by being here today with us in this Chamber. And thirdly, I want to acknowledge your deep sense of service. I think politics is about service and resuming your duties as an MP. Being here today shows us it's an example for all of us of your deep sense of service and we thank you for it.
